Five days after the disappearance of Malaysia Flight 370, the
company using advanced satellite imagery to assist the search for the missing
jetliner said it has more than 115,000 volunteers taking part in the effort. (You can find out how to join the search here.)

DigitalGlobe, a Colorado-based commercial satellite
operator, has been posting images of the search area on the site Tomnod.com.
The company asked viewers to mark anything that looks like possible debris from
the plane, which disappeared Saturday about two hours after its take off from Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, on its way to Beijing with 239 people aboard.

Company officials told CNN volunteers have posted 100
million page views in the first 34 hours since the effort began. The public was
viewing 2 million pages of satellite imagery every 10 minutes on Wednesday,
even as Malaysian officials said they were expanding the search zone.

As of now, amateur hunters have had no luck locating the
missing plane.

"Up until now, there hasn't been the smoking gun, the
final clue, that leads to the location of the wreckage of the missing
aircraft," said Shay Har-Noy, founder of DigitalGlobe's tomnod.com.

The search has yielded other information, however.

"We have found a lot of really interesting pieces of
debris, lots of ships," which are involved in the search, Har-Noy told CNN
on Wednesday. "We can see from space all the boats and the infrastructure
that's in place."
